Advanced Materials for Electrocatalysis and Energy Storage

Dear Colleagues,

Electrocatalysis and energy storage are currently hot research topics, which can provide effective solutions to the energy crisis and sustainable development. Electrocatalysis technology can be used in many ways, such as for hydrogen production. Energy storage devices such as rechargeable batteries and electrochemical capacitors deeply influence the development of electronic products and electric vehicles. Accordingly, we are launching this new Special Issue of Coatings titled “Advanced Materials for Electrocatalysis and Energy Storage”, which will focus on the fundamental and application areas of advanced materials for electrocatalysis and energy storage.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Batteries (such as lithium/sodium/potassium ion batteries, aqueous zinc ion batteries, etc.);
• Electrochemical capacitors;
• Electrocatalysis materials and applications;
• Synthesis, analysis, or mechanism research of advanced materials for electrocatalysis and energy storage;
• Theoretical calculation of advanced materials for electrocatalysis and energy storage;
• Other types of energy storage applications.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
